Great Popcorn Film!

Rating: 6/10 (18 March 2006)

This film is about Lincoln Six-Echo (McGregor) who is in a Utopian world, which is said to be a place where people find them after a contamination occurred. His friend is Jordan Two-Delta (Johansson). There is a lottery drawing each week to get one lucky person to go to "The Island" which reportedly is the last uncontaminated spot on the planet. Later, Lincoln discovers that there is no island and that he and the others are clones. Licoln and Jordan make an escape which leads them to the real futuristic world where they must avoid being captured from the makers of the clones by escaping close calls.
This is a fun action thrill ride! The special effects are great! This is a great summer blockbuster hit. The beginning starts off slow but picks up later on. The screen couple, McGregor and Johansson, goes together great. You don't need your brain for this movie. It's just mindless action. It's a chase thriller. They run here and there. There is some weak dialog but we don't care. It's better to see action scenes than to actually care about the plot.
The way Michael Bay reveals that the community is fake is interesting. We see one question being answered after another until we reach the big finale. The ending is satisfying but it's not great. This is a long movie but you won't care because this is such a good movie, you won't even care about the plot holes in this movie. I don't care about anything but just wanting the characters to reach their main goal. This is another great McGregor film, including his Star War films.
Just watch this film if you want to see a mindless action film and you'll be fine. Come to this movie with a brain and you won't like it as much. Get ready for a full throttle thriller!
